West Indies posted the second highest total in T20 World Cup history and thrashed Zimbabwe by 107 runs in the Super Eights on Monday.
West Indies finished with a team record 254-6 after Shimron Hetmyer - dropped on 9 and 70 - bashed 85 off 34 balls with seven sixes, and Rovman Powell hit 59 off 35.
The West Indies batters hit 19 sixes. Their total was just six runs from the all-time World Cup high of 260-6 by Sri Lanka against Kenya in 2007.
"The win means a lot actually, more so because of the fact I didn't get that much in the last game", player of the match Hetmyer said.
"So I'm just trying to make sure that I keep replicating and keep doing the same things that I've been doing for the past couple of months and so far it's been working.
"In the past I've been doing a lot of overthinking when I walk out to bat, about what to do if I get out and stuff like that.
"So now I'm trying to think less and just let the bat do as much thinking and much talking for me as possible. Just reacting to whatever is in front of me."
Zimbabwe was all out for 147 in 17.4 overs. Left-arm spinners Gudakesh Motie (4-28) and Akeal Hosein (3-28) did most of the damage. No. 8 batter Brad Evans led with 43 off 21.
But frustration really came for the Zimbabwean team when fielder Tashinga Musekiwa dropped Hetmyer twice allowing him to hit for 85.
In all, 31 sixes were hit during this game, a record in men's T20 World Cups.
West Indies led Group 1 on net run-rate from South Africa. Defending champion India and Zimbabwe have lost their first matches in the tournament.
West Indies next plays South Africa in Ahmedabad on Thursday, when India also takes on Zimbabwe in Chennai.
